The corporation is the city's economic development entity funded by a half-cent sales tax.

Williamson, noted that two-thirds of Pasadena's approximately 150,000 residents live on the north side and reminded the council of the study's primary findings.

“We will certainly welcome all the help we can get here, and you just let us know which one of those nine or 10 (points) the chamber would like to try to help with financing,” said Isbell, who thanked Willamson for her remarks.

Williamson said she felt confident the chamber would love to meet with the mayor to discuss which point should be No 1.

“My phone is available any time,” he responded.

Randy Drake, a Second Century board member, and north side business owner, also addressed the council Aug. 4 about the North Pasadena Redevelopment Plan.

Drake said Chamber of Commerce members had given “great support” to all the North Side plan recommendations.
